Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A comprehensive guide to the life and work of the author of The Remains of the DayOne of the most closely followed British writers of his generation, the Japaneseborn, Englishraised and educated Ishiguro is the author of six critically acclaimed novels, including A Pale View of Hills (1982, Winifred Holtby Prize of the Royal Society of Literature), An Artist of the Floating World (1986, Whitbread Book of the Year Award), The Remains of the Day (1988, Booker Prize), and The Unconsoled (1995, Cheltenham Prize). Ishiguro's reputation also extends beyond the world of Englishlanguage readers. His work has been translated into twentyseven foreign languages, and the feature film version of The Remains of the Day was nominated for eight Academy Awards.Brian W. Shaffer's study reveals Ishiguro's novels to be intricately crafted, psychologically absorbing, hauntingly evocative works that betray the author's grounding not only in the literature of Japan but also in the great twentiethcentury British and Irish mastersJoseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, E. M. Forster, and James Joyceas well as in Freudian psychoanalysis. All of Ishiguro's novels are shown to capture firstperson narrators in the intriguing act of revealingyet also of attempting to conceal beneath the surface of their mundane present activitiesthe alarming significance and troubling consequences of their past lives.
